181 A patinated bronze German WWI propaganda medal for the sinking of the Lusitania by Karl Goetz, dated 5 May 1915 5.5cm diameter.
In August 1915, German artist Karl Goetz cast a commemorative medal depicting the May 7, 1915 sinking of the Lusitania. He intended it to be a metallic political cartoon, but it became a propaganda tool. On one side the Lusitania was shown sinking by its stern (it sunk bow first) with artillery pieces and airplanes on the deck. The caption translates as 'No Contraband Goods
– The Liner Lusitania Sunk by a German Submarine –5 May 1915'. The reverse shows a skeleton selling tickets to long lines of unwary passengers, the caption translates as 'Business Above All. A newspaper headline warns: U-Boat Danger.
It was the May 5 date on the medal that verified to the British that the Germans pre-meditated the sinking, a cowardly act. In fact, artist Goetz simply got the date wrong from using an erroneous newspaper report. About 430 medals of the first version with the May 5 date were minted in Goetz’s home. He soon corrected the date to May 7, which is the Goetz-minted coin in the War at Sea exhibit case in the Main Gallery at the Museum and Memorial. Apparently there were between 41 to 45 medals of this version made.

We will refund the purchase price using the same method as that used for the original purchase following our receipt of the lot and assuming it is received by us without damage.
In addition, the lot must be returned to us within the 14 calendar day period after the lot was available for collection. You will be responsible for the cost of returning the lot, namely, but not restricted to: shipping, packing, insurance and any import duties incurred.
If the lot is damaged as a result of any investigations into the nature of the lot by you or others you will account for this loss. If the lot is returned damaged, we will deduct a sum from the refund to cover the cost of repair or the loss in value which results from this damage.
Condition reports and additional images may be available to assist you in evaluating the lot. They are provided free of charge to our buyers and are for guidance only. Before bidding it is your responsibility to ensure you have requested, received and reviewed any condition report.
17. Lots which we believe to be covered by the CITES regulations will be accompanied by text advising bidders accordingly. Please note that we are not responsible for advising you on any import/export issues including without limitation CITES or the like, and customs and import fees and the like. We recommend that you acquaint yourself with any relevant issues before bidding, as we cannot accept liability for any information which we may provide for you in this regard. If you purchase a lot requiring an export licence it is your responsibility to obtain it, and we cannot accept rescission of the sale or offer a refund if you are unable to so obtain a permit.
In certain countries local laws entitle an artist or the artist’s estate to receive a royalty when a lot created by the artist is sold, this royalty is known as ‘artist’s re-sale right’ or ARR.
If these laws apply to the lot you must pay us an additional amount equivalent to the royalty due to the artist. We will pay the royalty to the appropriate authority on the seller’s behalf.
The royalty applies if the hammer price is equal to or greater than Euro 1,000.
The total royalty for any lot cannot exceed Euro 12,500.
The amount owed is calculated as follows:
Royalty for the portion of the hammer price (in Euros):
4% up to 50,000
3% between 50,000.01 and 200,000
1% between 200,000.01 and 350,000
0.50% between 350,000.01 and 500,000
over 500,000 the lower of 0.25% and 12,500 euro
We will calculate the artist’s resale royalty using the Euro to GBP£ rate of exchange of the European Central Bank on the day of the auction.
18. Each seller warrants that they are the legal owner of the lot and/or have the unencumbered right to sell the lot at auction and to pass title to the successful bidder. The seller shall not be liable in the event of breach of this warranty for any amount greater than the hammer price of the lot in question.
We are not liable for any statements, data, information and the opinions of others nor any deterioration of the lot after collection. Our total liability for negligence, breach of statutory duty, misrepresentation or otherwise shall be limited to the hammer price of the lot in question.
We shall not be liable for any loss of profits, loss of business, goodwill, loss of anticipated savings or for any special, indirect, incidental or consequential loss, costs, damages, charges or expenses to the fullest extent permitted by law.
We shall not be liable for any loss or damage that is not foreseeable; loss or damage is foreseeable if it is an obvious consequence of our breach or if it was contemplated by you and us at the time this contract was formed.
We may be liable only to the successful bidder in the event of fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation by us and exclude all other liability to such bidder and all third parties to the fullest extent permitted by law.
